The Man with the Coconuts ( Adapted story from Mabel Cook Cole,
Philippine Folk Tales)

One day, there was a man who had been in the forest to gather his
coconuts. He loaded his horse heavily with them. On his way home, he
met a boy and a girl whom he asked on how long it would take him to
reach the house. ”If you go slowly," said the boy, looking at the load on the
horse, "you will arrive very soon; but if you go fast, it will take you all day.“
The man could not believe this strange speech, so, he hurried his horse.
However, the coconuts fell off and he had to stop to pick them up. Then,
he hurried his horse all the more to make up for lost time; still, the
coconuts fell off again. Many times he did this, and it was night when he
reached home.
Cohesive devices
Cohesive devices are like road signs.
They keep the text running smoothly, making it clear which direction to
follow and how different parts are linked.
Some are used to create cohesion within paragraphs and some are used
to create cohesion between paragraphs.

Conjunctions Adverbials
Determiners and Pronouns
Ellipsis
Repetition
Cohesive devices – Conjunctions
Conjunctions can be used as cohesive devices.
Conjunctions link clauses.
The links create cohesion by joining clauses and explaining how they are joined.
Conjunctions can give meaning to the links, to do with…

time place cause condition contrast


when where because if although
while wherever so unless though
since for even whereas
as since if while
before
Cohesive devices – Conjunctions
With conjunctions, a text has more cohesion.

Whereas a typical school may have 30 children in Year 6 to choose


from, Green Vale must select its team from across KS2 in order to
have enough players.
The conjunction creates cohesion by making one sentence. It shows that the first
(subordinate) clause gives additional meaning to the second (main) clause.
